Thank you so much for your support @javeedsukhera !!.

@YaleCSC Cases run monthly through June and are hybrid. Every case starts and ends with a gut-wrenching story. Join us tomorrow for our next session. 6/?.

@YaleCSC Presenters take on the case as if it were their own and expert discussants weigh in, as well as the audience 5/?.

@YaleCSC We selected anonymized cases from around the country where medical racism was a primary problem, that led to lapses in care of Black youth. 4/?.

But we cannot move forward as a field if we don’t discuss these cases. They are crucial. So, I created the Black Youth Mental Health Clinical Case Conference series. The first of its kind @YaleCSC 3/?.

Short answer: Usually nothing. There is no safe space to discuss these clinical cases in medicine without the very real fear of retaliation. Institutions might say you’re “calling them out”, the colleagues with the racist behavior may target you. 2/?.

What happens to the clinical cases where medical racism, the racist behavior of the medical team, is the primary problem? A 🧵 1/?.

So the next time you see someone researching anti-Black racism, instead of asking them why they need to research it, try learning from them. If you’re a doctor, it’ll make you a better one if you see Black patients 😉 9/9.

Researchers of anti-Black racism are scholars, scientists, and are amazing—often because they’re going through the very racism they’re researching. We need more research about racism. 8/?.

So, the next time you wonder why not just talk about racism, as if people truly understand its effects on the body, ask yourself: can you name 10 forms of racism? Can you tell me its effects on the body? Can you name 10 recent research studies? 7/?.

Also, while topics like ADHD have been highly-researched in kids, racism has not. There is so much we don’t know about how racism impacts mental health and development at large. 6/?.

Researching anti-Black racism is a science just like anything else. We research depression or stress because it has literal effects on the brain. So does racism. 5/?.

Second of all, if you want to ask me why I research racism, I will ask you: why do you need to research genetics or depression or whatever you do? Thats a silly question. So check yourself if you need to ask it. 4/?.

And stories are powerful. People love stories. It is how they relate to the world and how ideas can spread. Narratives open the door to other experiences and walks of life in a way that is interesting and eye-opening. 3/?.
